OIL BURNER.

Application filled February 27, 1924. Serial No. 695,542.

Grant and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inOil Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to oil burners and 19 the like, and has for an object the provision of a novel burner having means for the distribution of oil, including an annular trough or basin operative to receive any unconsumed oil which may escape from the burner in order that the .said trough may confine the oil while it is being consumed.

It is a further object of this invention to produce a burner having a dome supported above the jet and effective to spread the 39 flame and increase the efiiciency of the de vice.

It is a further object of this invention to produce a burner comprising a plurality of parts which may be detachably assembled or held in assembled relation by gravity.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction, and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this application wherein like characters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in which Figure 1 illustrates a view in elevation of a burner embodying the invention;

Figure 2 illustrates a sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. 1 with the fuel supply pipe added; v

Figure 3 illustrates a top plan view of the burner with the dome removed; and

Figure t illustrates a sectional view of the burner on a line corresponding with the 'line 4-4 of Fig. 2 with the upper portion of the; pipe removed.

In these drawings, 5 denotes the base of the burner which may be supported on a grate or in any convenient place where the fire is to be. made. the said base including an annular trough 6.

The jet or burner element 7 comorises a disk preferably having a convex upper surface with radial slots 8 therein. The disk has an aperture 9 through which a fuel supply pipe 10 extends to discharge on the upper surface of the plate in order that the oil may fiow over the plate and be distributed in a film while it is being consumed. The plate has depending lugs or pins 11 which extend into the aperture 12 of the base, and the said lugs bear against the wall of the aperture 12 to prevent displacement of the plate with relation to the base. The plate is furthermore provided with flanges or fins 13 that radiate from the said plate and they are preferably integral with the lugs. The lower edges of the flanges are supported on the upper edges of the base and trough so that displacement of the plate with relation to the other parts of the device is prevented.

A dome 14: of the general configuration shown in Fig. 2 is-supported on the flanges. and the lower edge of the said dome is approximately in alinement with the outer edge of the trough; a condition which serves to spread the fiameand increase the efficiency of the burner as a whole. The distributor is preferably provided with holes or openings 15 for the purpose of allowing additional air to pass in and up through the dome.

From an inspection of the drawing and from the foregoing description. it' will be apparent that the parts of the burner may be detached, one from the other, for the purpose of cleaning the same or for rc newing parts that are worn and unpaired.

I claim:

In an oil humor. :1 112150 having an aperture therein and an annular channel forming a trough. a plate having radial flanges depending from the under surface of the said plate and having their lower edges bridging the. trough and resting on the up per surface of the base, lugs integral with the flanges at the inner ends thereof and of greater lengththan the depth of the flanges, the said lugs beingpositioned with relation to each other to extend into the aperture of the base for engaging the wall of the aperture and retaining the plate and flanges on the base. and a dome having its lower edge lying on the upper surfaces of the flanges and supported thereby.
